Happy first day of spring! Time to go green.
While today marks the first day of spring, KC will still be fighting cooler temps until at least May-ish. I’m employing those transitional outfitting skills in the latest issue of KC Homes & Style so I can dress like it’s warm outside while not freezing in the process.
This green dress is such a great spring score; those mini pleats, puffy sleeves, and square necklines are right on-trend. I layered another spring trend on top: a light-colored suede jacket. White booties (which you’ve seen before) underscore that boho vibe and further prove you don’t have to wait until Easter to break out the white shoes.
How 90s is this dress? I love the prairie feel to it, but the almost-shiny tightly-pleated daisy printed green material is definitely straight from my Gadzook’s closet of yore. It works now on breezy early spring days, but it’s lightweight enough to come in handy as a July dress. (Summer wedding, anyone? With a white strappy sandal and a bold fuchsia lip? Yes, please.)
This jacket has been in my closet for ages, but light-colored suede and leather is having a big moment this spring. (Seriously, if you ever wanted to get a blush moto jacket, this is the year to do it.) I love it with classic basics like jeans and a t-shirt, but it gives this super feminine dress some edge.
